How Would you locate the epicenter of an earthquake once you have determined the distance from the epicenter of the quake to each of three seismographic station?
To locate the epicenter of an earthquake, you would use the distances obtained from three seismographic stations and plot them on a map. Each station's distance from the epicenter is represented as a circle with a radius equal to that distance. The point where all three circles intersect is the location of the epicenter. This method is known as triangulation and allows for precise determination of the earthquake's origin.
Time gap between earthquake and tsunami?
It depends on the size of the earthquake. If it was just a very very minor shudder, then it would not make much of a tsunami, nor would it go very far. However, if there is an earthquake like the one that just hit Japan, then that could cross the pacific ocean.
Would an earthquake in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado be likely to form a tsunami?
onew
What will happen when both earthquake and tsunami happened?
Well earthquakes create tsunamis so if they were both to happen at once then you would get 2 tsunamis one after the other but if the second one catches up with the first tsunami it will make a massive tsunami/flood hope this helps :)
Where would be intensity higher near or away epicenter?
Intensity is typically higher near the epicenter of an earthquake. This is because the seismic waves have less distance to travel, leading to stronger shaking in that area. As you move farther away from the epicenter, the energy dissipates, resulting in lower intensity and less noticeable effects. Thus, the impact of the earthquake diminishes with distance from the epicenter.
How would you locate the epicenter of an earthquake once you have determined the distance from the epicenter of the earthquake to each of three seismographic stations?
To locate the epicenter of an earthquake using the distances from three seismographic stations, you would identify the point where the circles with radii equal to the distances intersect. This point is the epicenter of the earthquake. The intersection point forms a triangle with the three stations, and the epicenter is typically located at the centroid or center of gravity of this triangle.
Where would an earthquake epicenter be in this diagram apex?
An earthquake epicenter would be located at the point directly above the focus or hypocenter where the earthquake originates. It would typically be at the surface of the Earth directly above the seismic activity.
Why would the shadow zone of an earthquake in japan be different from the shadow zone of an earthquake in California?
depends on the focus and epicenter depends on the focus and epicenter
What word describes the focal point of an earthquake?
That would be the epicenter.
Where in this diagram would an earthquake's epicenter be located?
The epicenter of an earthquake would be located at the point directly above the focus (hypocenter) on the Earth's surface. In the diagram, it would be at the top point where the circle meets the surface.
Why was there an earthquake then a tsunami?
No. The answer is, first the earth trembles (there is earthquake), and if that earthquake is in sea or ocean, the water would be quaked too. As a result tidal waves will be created.. and that is Tsunami
When would a tsunamic occur?
A tsunami is an ocean wave that is caused by an earthquake. It would occur after an earthquake.
When earthquake occurs where would the intensity be higher?
The intensity would be higher near the epicenter.
Where would earthquake damage be more - near the epicenter or away from the epicenter?
All other factors being equal, the seismic waves will be felt most strongly at or near to the epicentre of the earthquake.
Why would a place nearer the epicenter of an earthquake experience the most violent movements?
Because that is where the energy of the earthquake is released. As the energy travels farther away from the epicenter, it is dissipated as mechanical force.
What city in america is closest to the epicenter?
The city closest to the epicenter of an earthquake in America would depend on the location of the earthquake. For example, if the earthquake occurred near San Francisco, California, the closest city may be San Francisco itself.
What is the location on the earth and surface directly above the point where an earthquake begins?
The term that describes the point on the Earth's surface above the area where an earthquake originates is it's epicenter.
